Thanks to Jeannette Bishop for this unofficial text of Posey remarks on U.S. House floor: TO BEGIN WITH, I AM ABSOLUTELY, RESOLUTEY PRO-VACCINE. Advancements in medical immunization have saved countless lives and greatly benefitted public health. That being said, it's...

Premature ovarian failure in a
well adolescent is a rare event. Its occurrence raises important
questions about causation,
which may signal other systemic
concerns. This patient presented with amenorrhoea after identifying a
change from her regular
cycle to irregular and scant periods
following vaccinations against human papillomavirus. She declined the
oral contraceptives
initially prescribed for amenorrhoea.
The diagnostic tasks were to determine the reason for her secondary
amenorrhoea and
then to investigate for possible causes
of the premature ovarian failure identified. Although the cause is
unknown in 90%
of cases, the remaining chief
identifiable causes of this condition were excluded. Premature ovarian
failure was then notified
as a possible adverse event following
this vaccination. The young woman was counselled regarding preservation
of bone density,
reproductive implications and relevant
follow-up. This event could hold potential implications for population
health and prompts
further inquiry.

Apparently it was this woman's refusal to take the pill that helped them to isolate the factors in ovarian failure and have to consider the hpv vaccination more singularly. I suppose this will be more and more the case as this vaccine is recommended to girls who are very young and they will not be wanting to go on the pill.
